TPG (TPG) and Clayton Dubilier & Rice are in discussions with private-credit firms, including Blue Owl Capital, to secure at least $2.5 billion of debt financing for Covetrus, Bloomberg reported Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The financing would be used to refinance Covetrus' $2 billion of existing debt and support a potential acquisition, the report said.
TPG and Clayton Dubilier & Rice are also weighing an additional equity injection into Covetrus, a veterinary-technology company, to help finance a follow-on acquisition still under negotiation, the report said.
TPG, Clayton Dubilier & Rice, Covetrus and Blue Owl Capital did not immediately respond to requests for comment from MT Newswires.
